    Default Syncing 2 Macs w/ TSP

    Sorry if this has been covered (if so please link me) but I am really interested in being able to sync up with my buddy(s) who are also using Traktor.

    I found a thread on the NI forum that had a link to the answer here: https://co.native-instruments.com/kn...wo%20TRAKTORs? but I was unable to sign in because I am not registered.

    Is this possible with 2 versions of TSP and 2 audio 8s?

    Could someone clear this up for me? Thanks!

    yes, me and a friend do this. it was a pain in the ass to dial in, but once set, its set for life. also one other issue is that every couple of mins it helps if the clock sending TSP has the 'sync' button pressed to cut out any drift.

    if you read the manual, its actually in there (page 148). but long story short, decide which TSP is going to be the master and connect the midi out of it's audio 8 to the midi in of the slave TSP's audio 8. On the sending TSP in the global clock bit check that 'Int' is selected and click on the Play/Pause button. this will begin sending the midi clock. on the slave TSP, set the clock to 'Ext'

    Now for the 'fun' part...

    click on 'tick' on both TSP's so you can hear it through ur mixer. they will be out of time, click 'sync' to reset it and then you adjust the midi clock sending offset in pref>midi setup until the ticks are in time. we found that we had to balance that with the latency to get it perfect. it does take time, be prepared to get frustrated and consider alcholism as a career

    The only way you would get it to work is if you both have midi controller with midi in and out sockets. mind you, if you both have the same controller, doing it that way could create some funny actions on the recieving tp

    I'm pretty sure there's a way of doing it over LAN or WiFi...
